I agree, but the reality is they only have the options of increasing taxes or cutting services. They don’t have a product to sell and at the end of the day, the court might say that they should have been escrowing all along and penalize them more (if that is even possible), but whatever decisions made by Dekalb County government will have to be made good by us, the citizens (incorporated and not) of Dekalb County…

I don’t think the courts would take too kindly to imposing a tax to pay the rightful owners for a tax that’s already been collected. The court would say they should have been escrowing the money all along until the matter was settled. Just my uneducated opinion.

Dekalb not wanting to cooperate with something??? I’m appalled sir. Appalled!

That’s an easy question to answer.

Additional taxes.

I wonder where that money will come from – the County has long since spent it and it’s not in escrow. They’ll have to pay interest on it, too.
